Exciting new research has revealed the significant role Aboriginal men, and some women, played in Australia’s early maritime history. The focus of this exhibition is the Eora and Darug people from the Sydney area, who sailed on English ships through Port Jackson to destinations in Australia and throughout the world during the period 1790-1855. Theirs was a canoe culture and they called these ships mari nawi meaning ‘large canoes’.
